4. Hogging and not freeing menu/window resources in X, as my Insight Tcl
program failing with 'unable to register Tk TopLevel class' or failing to draw
a window properly indicates:
http://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Tcl/comp.lang.tcl/2008-04/msg00769.htmlhttp://coding.derkeiler.com/Archive/Tcl/comp.lang.tcl/2008-04/msg00769.html
yes, Insight Tcl programs can be run without X being launched. But I have to quit
X (desktop or multiwindow mode) to pull down and draw a menu in e.g. the mail
program where I'm writing this.
Cygwin's Tcl/Tk is currently Windows based, and this message is clearly
talking about a Windows version of Tcl/Tk. I don't see what that has to
do with X11?
I'm walking you through visible symptoms, diagnosis, and explanation. the new
Xserver is demonstrably a resource hog, in that it interferes with normal
Windows operation.
Too bad you're not providing us with the solution as well :-)
I tried some brief experiments with the Dheapmon tool, but I didn't see any
obvious leaking and wasn't able to hit this Windows resource limit - the
desktop heap was only 50% full with 50 xterms, and then I hit some other limit
in cygwin ('open ttydev: No such file or directory'), so a few more
details about how to reproduce this problem would be very helpful.
It might be also helpful if you mentioned which particular version of windows
you are using, as I would guess they don't all behave the same in this regard.

Thanks a lot! Grazie! F PS That's a weird behaviour, anyway... I wonder why the pause is needed only for the first execution after the system boot. Whatever... Now it works :) Because the second time, the X server is already running. The command to start the X server has --silent-dup-error, so it does nothing when the server is already running. The problem seems to be the one that prompted the thread that contains this message: http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2005-04/msg00018.html As I understand it, the process that starts the X server finishes before the X server is ready to accept connections. This means that there is then a race condition between the X server start up and the next command in the startup script. If the server is ready first all is well but if not, the next command - xterm - fails to connect and gives up. This is correct. The real solution, is to use startx/xinit, as that actually has code to wait until the X server is accepting connections before starting the clients. Making startxwin.bat just launch startx or xinit would also largely solve the problem of overwriting people's customisations to startxwin.bat, as it has defined places to put those. Unfortunately, there is one important difference: xinit does't work quite the same way as startxwin.bat, in that it waits for the last client started (or the default Xterm) to exit, and when that exits, also kills the X server; startxwin just starts everything and exits. A patch to add a 'don't wait around, just exit' switch to xinit would be most useful :-) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/ FAQ: http://x.cygwin.com/docs/faq/
Re: /usr/bin/startx fails on new x.org install?
Jon,
thanks for your /usr/bin/startx patch. (repeated as text below since the cygwin
mailing list bounces attachments, so probably didn't make it to the list.)
Applying your patch allows startx to run and launch X - but in full desktop
mode,
rather than the multiwindow mode that startx did for me previously.
Trying:
startx -multiwindow
leads to:
xterm: bad command line option xterm. Interesting.
startx -- -multiwindow
works as xinit does, but is non-obvious to the user. I'd expect startx
to default to multiwindow mode.
So, your patch is a step in the right direction, at least, handles spaces
correctly, and should certainly be committed to the codebase.
I'm using SaVi and Geomview under Cygwin/X and WinXP SP2 (a 2MB Thinkpad
T43). See:
https://outlook2003.surrey.ac.uk/exchweb/bin/redir.asp?URL=http://savi.sf.net/http://savi.sf.net/
The new X server has a nasty habit of dying horribly when I begin
using SaVi and Geomview - there's your test case. I can live without the
hardware acceleration - it's a good way of tightening SaVi's
geomview commands to remove redundant drawing and group drawing commands
together to remove unnecessary geomview updates - but other geomview users
will have a different view.
And only getting thirty seconds or so of use before the X server dies
and takes everything else with it is a showstopper for all of us.
Geomview now seems to be easier to build under the new Xserver regime -
./configure and make just work and do the right thing without command-line
nudges - but it's far less robust and reliable in use under the new
X server.
(I'm not getting cut/paste between Windows and xterms in
multiwindow mode, either. Entirely separate clipboards.)
thanks,
L.

Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font
I have installed the latest version of Cygwin + X11 under Longhorn/Vista Ver 6.0 Build 6001 Service Pack 1, running under WOW64 on AMD64. Cygcheck says that Longhorn/Vista (not yet supported!) but things seem to work, so far. I have downloaded the lot today, Feb 18, 2009, and the version numbers on X11 are: xorg-cf-files 1.0.2-7 xorg-docs 1.4-1 xorg-scripts 1.0.1-1 xorg-server 1.5.3-6 xorg-sgml-doctools 1.2-1 xorg-util-macros 1.2.1-1 xorg-x11-base 7.4-1 xorg-x11-bin-dlls 7.4-1 The installation and post-install all went smoothly, but on trying to start X11, xterm, as invoked by startxwin.sh, would say Unable to load any usable ISO8859 font and exit. X11 would run though and xterm -fn fixed would come up just fine, sic. I have eventually tracked the problem to... there not being any fonts.dir files in the /usr/share/fonts subdirectories. After I had made these manually with mkfontdir the problem went away. Looks like a bug in post-install. But... I did not have this problem on XP, on which I had installed Cygwin and X11 yesterday only. So, it seems to be Vista specific. Another Vista post-install difference: there are no X11 entries in the start menu.

Re: SSH/SCREEN/REATTACH bug
sorry to inform you, using Cygwin 1.7 yields the same result. OK, too bad. Can't wait to see the recompile using pipes! I recompiled it yesterday in 1.7, and the configure script still found a broken fifo implementation, but in a gentler way than in 1.5 (without a nasty hang). So I'll report this as a Cygwin bug and see if it can get fixed. Even if that happens though, there's no guarantee that it will fix this bug. Failing that, I'm afraid this may be hard to track down. Your strace helps. If anyone else can reproduce this bug or offer any suggestions on pinning it down, I'm all ears.

Re: sshd w/o admin?
Aaron Davies wrote: is it possible to get sshd working w/o admin privs? Running 'ssh-host-config' requires adminstrative privileges to create users to run 'sshd' as a service (for W2K3 and later) and for privilege separation. If you don't want/need these, then you can bypass these as part of the configuration. This will mean: 1. You cannot run sshd as a service (on W2K3 or later) so you will not be able to use pub-key authentication. On W2K and XP systems, you can use the existing 'SYSTEM' user to run 'sshd' as a service if you'd like. 2. You will always be running 'sshd' as a privileged user but this doesn't mean much if you're not running it as a user with elevated privileges, which you're likely not if you chose not to run as a service, this is likely a non-issue. i've run ssh-host-config (without creating a new user) and started sshd manually from the shell. when i try to connect, i get Connection closed by 127.0.0.1 and an error sshd: PID 6520: fatal: seteuid 45758: Permission denied shows up in the event viewer id idnicates that 45758 is me any suggestions?

libpng headaches!
Hello dear Cygwin users, I hope I'm posting this to the right list. If not, then I sincerely apologize! I'm programming a game using SDL and I compile with gcc under Cygwin and link with the mingw libraries. I've done this for years, and it has worked fine all the time. But a short time ago I wanted to start using libpng for my project. And this is where the nightmare starts When I try to build my game with -lpng12 and -lz I get these two errors: undefined reference to `_setjmp' And: undefined reference to `__imp___ctype_' The last one occurs on a line in my code that calls toupper() or tolower(). I've been trying to research this as good as I can, and I've found some posts here and there with other people having similar problems. It appears as if libpng refuses to compile under Cygwin? For example, this is a comment I found at the OpenTTD website: [...] at the moment I am not sure how to do this because the PNG packages for Cygwin don't work (you can include libpng and it's development headers and manually edit the Makefile.config to make it compile but it fails at linkage with undefined reference to __setjmp errors). I guess the question I'd like to have answered is, what am I doing wrong? Thank you!

The MinGW list would be the appropriate place to look for help with this problem. And the problem is presumably caused by trying to use the Cygwin version of libpng-devel, which will have references to functions supplied by the Cygwin DLL, when linking against MinGW runtime libs, which don't supply the same set of functions. The problem with -lz could probably be fixed by using the mingw-zlib package, but David will need to find a proper MinGW build of libpng (or roll his own). cheers, DaveK -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

Revisiting Killed by signal 2 caused by ssh -X.
Hi all.
I'm consistently getting Killed by signal 2 when I press ctrl-c in an
ssh -X session. I've searched the forums it seems there hasn't been a
solution for this?
Is there a way to prevent getting Killed by signal 2 when I press
ctrl-c in ssh -X sessions?
For now, what I do is this:
- Before running ssh -X, in the current cygwin shell, I do a 'trap
2'. That's so that the current cygwin shell will ignore sigint.
- Once that's done, I proceed with ssh -X. Cause of the previous step,
Ctrl-C is now completely ignored.
- I then paste `awk 'BEGIN{printf(stty intr %c\n,29)}' /dev/null` into
the shell prompt to set ctrl-] as stty intr.
Hope my temporary solution is useful to those who couldn't get this
fixed yet.
Thanks!
KarHeng

Can't find show-paren-mode under XEmacs
I am new to Cygwin and XEmacs, but when I installed XEmacs and tried using several features that I found documented, several places say that they can't find show-paren-mode (or that the function is void). I have searched online thinking (in my non-Lisp, non-XEmacs way), that there may be a show-paren-mode.el (or .elc) that I was supposed to manually download, but I can't find one. I did try entering the command M-x show-paren-mode and that to received an error message. Any help on what I am missing or how to fix this? (If there is a separate XEmacs list that I should send this to, please let me know. I found information on an XEmacs list, but I am not certain that this wasn't a problem with my Cygwin install.) -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
Mirror List Inconsistencies
A few quibbles on the mirror list http://cygwin.com/mirrors.html: Germany is listed twice. - The first is as a country in Europe having 15 mirrors. - The second as a region, having one country, called Europe, that has a single mirror, http://cygwin.abdaal.com/pub/. Canada is listed as it's own region, not part of North America. North America either should be renamed United States or it should include Alberta, Ontario, and Quebec. (The latter seem to me to be most consistent with the rest of the list.) Since all the primary bullets are continents (with the exception of Germany and Canada), I would delete South from the first instance of South Africa. And yes, none of this really matters. The list is perfectly understandable as is.

I know I don't have either of those library paths in my PATH executable -- but that should be handled/called by gcc/g++ -- not something I should be concerned about. Any idea what might be causing the problem? I could post a cygcheck output if this was a cygwin bug, but I'm assuming this is SOME variation of a cockpit error since I've never gotten setup or cygwin to build successfully any time I've tried it (sigh). -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/

I have never run ssh-user-config; I generated the keys directly with the standard keygen tools. I tried moving all my keys aside (outside of ~/.ssh).
